MLDonkey 2.9.7

Compiled MLDonkey 2.9.7 (max_bt_uploaders patched + missing torrents fix) for the DNS-323!

1. mldonkey lite – supports filetp, bittorrent
2. mldonkey lite (no gd) – supports filetp, bittorrent
3. mldonkey normal – supports filetp, bittorrent, edonkey
4. mldonkey normal (no gd) – supports filetp, bittorrent, edonkey
5. mldonkey full – supports filetp, bittorrent, edonkey, directconnect
6. mldonkey full (no gd) – supports filetp, bittorrent, edonkey, directconnect

Note: MLDonkey (except no gd) is compiled with graphical libraries. Hence you would need to install gd-2.0.35-1.tgz (or newer), libjpeg-6b-1.tgz (or newer) and libpng-1.2.29-1.tgz (or newer) on your NAS before you can start mlnet. Other wise you will see the message “can’t load library ‘libgd.so.2′” and/or “can’t load library ‘libjpeg.so.62′” in your mlnet.log.

Installation

Download the necessary package and place it on Volume_1 of your NAS (DNS-343, DNS-323, DNS-313). Telnet to your NAS and type the following commands

/ # cd /mnt/HD_a2
/mnt/HD_a2 # funpkg -i mldonkey-2.9.7-lite-1.tgz
Installing package mldonkey-2.9.7-lite …

Running mldonkey

To run mldonkey, simply issue the command “/ffp/start/mlnet.sh start”.

/mnt/HD_a2 # sh /ffp/start/mlnet.sh start
Starting mlnet

MLDonkey takes some time to setup the necessary files. Default download directory has been set to “/mnt/HD_a2/mldonkey” or simple the mldonkey folder in Volume_1.

To make MLDonkey auto-run on reboot, simply issue the following command

/mnt/HD_a2 # chmod a+x /ffp/start/mlnet.sh

Configuring MLDonkey if you are running it for the first time

You would need to configure the settings so you can access the web interface. Execute the following commands.

/mnt/HD_a2 # telnet 127.0.0.1 4000
